St. Joe's does much to help city neighborhoods

It was quite a coincidence that I read Wednesday about St. Joseph's explanation of why it doesn't feel obligated to contribute money to the city to offset services that it provides.

I was up in the ninth floor of the hospital with my wife for pre-testing, and looking out the window I mentioned to the nurse that the housing in the area looked so much improved since I was there last. St. Joe's has been providing funds to support neighborhood revitalization and it certainly has been paying off. The area around the hospital looks very nice. They also support many other programs that other hospitals don't, so I think they are showing their support of the community and no more should be asked of them.

Keep up the good work, St Joseph's. The community appreciates your thoughtfulness.
